Hi,
I'm having problems with XF4.0.99.02-0b .. and don't really know where to
start with debugging.  This is the first version of Xf4 I've tried -
installed as per HOW to from 3.3.6/Xpmac.

I've read (and acted upon, AFAICT) the readmes, and Franz's comments in
Kaoru's ftp directory.

1/  Key-mappings are screwed (big time) with any combination of "Option
XkbModel" I've tried - this is very unfortunate because I can't do SysRq or
VT switches - too much time spent watching fsck...

2/  The Mach64 driver is not loading.

3/  The fbdev driver loads & runs but usually crashes on X restart (which
occurs on log-out) - leaving me with a locked machine and another fsck...
